As Mattias said, drawing etc is mostly handled by the components
themselves. In fpGUI's UI Designer I do pretty much the same. I have a
"designer form" which is actually just a plain form. When I drop a widget
on that form, I first creates a 'resize handles' component which paints the
6 resize rectangles. That 'resize handles' component has an embedded widget
(the one you dropped on the designer form).

You are welcome to look at UI Designer in fpGUI as well.
